does anyone know of any apps that are out there for usb and/or wireless tethering that will work with linux without having to root the eris? the only one i know of is pdanet but it doesn't work on a computer running linux (which is what i have my wife running on her laptop) and my wife didn't let me root her phone before she left to go home for a couple weeks and where she is staying doesn't have internet.

Hi,

Are there any UV Kernels that can be used on Sense 2.2 ROM?

I'm looking to get a little more life out the battery.

Thanks

Hi,

this is my first application in Android. It is Arb Calculator, a simple (for now) trading calculator for bookmakers like Betfair, where you can bet against a given result.

Once you've bet, use the calculator to know the stake to bet against the result in order to maximize your winnings.

The application can be found in Android Market as "Arb Calculator"

Suggestions are welcome. Althoug I'm time-limited right now I would like to add more functionalities.

Thanks

I have an HTC adr6300 that I setup a exchange email on that required a lock security password. I since removed the exchange email and now I can't remove the lock screen password. Already rebooted phone. Any ideas would be appreciated.
[Fascinate General] MrNetwork:
I wasn't planning on buying the Droid X but because of the unknown arrival time for the Fascinate, I picked up the X today. I am going to put it through its paces and will do the same when the Fascinate arrives. Then I'll sell the lesser of the two phones.

I am so sick and tired of the issues with the Eris that I needed to get something. At least with the Droid X, it has bluetooth voice dialing with Android 2.1 whereas the Fascinate won't have it until 2.2.
[Fascinate General] Roland Deschain:
I bought the X today with only the intent of having it until I could buy the Fascinate, or for 30 days if it wasn't out yet then and I'd pay for a month of service on my old phone.

Then, I tested the GPS. Holy Christ. I've never in my life seen a GPS perform like the one in this phone. It was lightning-quick with the directions, I couldn't discern any lag whatsoever in the directions it was reading off, and it synced seemingly instantly. I did enable the quick GPS update in the settings, and I turned the GPS on before opening the car dock app, but still; it worked AMAZINGLY well. It seems like Motorola put a good, powerful GPS chip in this phone. Damn them, I may have to stick with the X long-term now, lol.
[Fascinate General] MrNetwork:
Like everything you buy, you have to give more weight to some items than others based on what is important to you. One of the things that's was driving me crazy on my stinking Eris is not having BT voice dialing. The Voice Command on the X is fantastic! I'm so impressed with this phone.
[Fascinate General] sprintrjm:
im waiting on the fascinate

I had the x for 2 days and did not like a few things.

Moto blur garbage.

Super quiet ringtones

super quiet voice navagation / hard to hear.

Blurry photo's

Slow charge and quick discharge

Moto blur garbage.. had to mention it twice.

The screen was nice and big, but after seeing the side by side with the fascinate and the Droid x.. The fascinate has 2x the quality of the screen...
[Fascinate General] jack_isidore:
I too have found a few things lacking,

Quality of physical buttons (and difficulty of depressing small physical buttons when stretching my thumb down that massive screen)

Uncertainty of non Motorola ROMS (I know this has been debated in great detail elsewhere)

Random software issues (screen waking on it's own, for example)

I am most likely going to return the DX and hope it doesn't take too long for the Fascinate to come out. I wanted to like this phone so much but it just doesn't feel right.
[Fascinate General] Anderdroid:
The Droid X is like a giant... Probably because I'm 5'4
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
I played around with both models quite a bit before settling on the Fascinate. The Fascinate has an overall better chip in it, and I've always been a fan of Samsung phones in general. The GPU is noticably better, and I can't wait till Froyo hits. Downsides were the lack of HDMI out, and the 5 MP camera. Still and all, the pics look better than the DX, and the camera is a hell of a lot more responsive.

The biggest drawbacks to the DX IMO are the lockdown on the kernel, which will hinder, or at least slow development, and the fact that it won't fit comfortably into the pocket of anyone not named Kirsty Alley.
[Fascinate General] ksizzle9:
About that 5mp shooter on the fascinate. I've owned both and its also been proven that the Samsung galaxy phones take a much better pictures.
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
Agreed. I'm a bit of a digi-photo buff, and that was a big selling point for me.

Coming from a Mt3g that I've ran exclusively with Cyanogen mod since I got it, I've become quite used to running a very slim, light phone, and getting this today with all this bloatware is driving me nuts. Anyone been successful getting these apps off theirs phones? I'm already rooted, and have astro installed, but didn't quite know what to remove.

Would prefer not having to use adb, as it doesn't work well with Win7
[Vibrant General] Fidelio_o:
Use Root Manager and delete what u want. be careful what u delete tho.
[Vibrant General] rahduke:
how do u remove the icons of these crapps from the app menu?
[Vibrant General] Fidelio_o:
After you delete them with root manager and re set the phone, they should be gone.
[Vibrant General] bahnburner:
Yup. Granted I used ADB, but root manager will work too. Just make sure you delete the apk and the odex.
[Vibrant General] g1g:

Yep, I thought Astro had root access but I was wrong, snagged root explorer and cleaned my phone up rather nicely.

[Vibrant General] sl8125:
Thanx but I thought you needed some type of recovery application. No?
[Vibrant General] SykesAT:
I know this is a bit of a noob question. But I have been using root explorer to "move" apk and odec that I do not need. Is is that simple? There is no "uninstall" process, you just remove/delete the apk/odec?
[Vibrant General] borodin1:
That should be the same as rm -r in ADB and that's what I've been doing for the last couple of years. Proper or not, it does the trick :D
[Vibrant General] offensive:
When I got the phone I think it had 4 pages of bloatware apps? I'm down to 2 and couldn't be happier.

I don't think the remount on root explorer works properly however, I had to remount between rw and ro with terminal.

ADB doesn't work well, I need to set up some sort of remote ssh so I can just run all of these commands from a shell on my desktop.
[EVO 4G General] markus_del_marko:
anybody else get constant data call failures when taking the phone out of sleep mode after disabling data connection always on? i was told turning it off will help battery life. the only way i can fix it is by updating my profile or doing a full data profile reset.

this has happened on both damage & fresh roms.
[EVO 4G General] herbthehammer:
Did it happen yesterday about 2pm est? I have the paper at home with the instructions. I had to call advanced tech support twice yesterday and it finally cleared up around 7pm est after a couple of internet resets in advanced hidden menu. The one that worked, I didn't update profile, updated prl automatically. I cancelled when it tried looking for updates. Phone is working good today!
[EVO 4G General] jrpointer:
Have you flashed one of the customer kernels recently?

Just picked up the Vibrant today. Is there another USB tether app besides PDAnet for Android? Hopefully point and click.

Thanks for replying.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] tarusdg:
"Wireless tether" but your phone has to be rooted
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Lieu10ant:
he wants a 'usb' tether app. not a wifi/bluetooth tether app. uh the only way i know how to do it, is go into settings in cyanogenmod's cm5 or 6 and hit the little "enable usb tethering" checkmark box, but you'd have to root ur phone and put his rom on ur phone once it gets ported.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sfsilicon:
Here is an article of a couple of tethering options. All except PDAnet require root. With the exception of the rooting requirement all are pretty user friendly.

backngear <dot> com/2009/03/25/round-up-of-tether-apps-for-android-phones/

On a side note I did notice that root access tethering is faster than PDAnet so I went the rooted way instead of spending the money on PDAnet. If you want something simple get PDAnet, make sure to use the trial period to see if all your usage cases (e.g. corporate VPN) will work.

I don't have my Vibrant yet (coming Monday), but if you have rooted your phone you can use this free one.

code <dot> google <dot> com/p/android-wired-tether/

Here is the wireless version. Pick the Eclair one since the Vibrant should be on Android 2.1. Note that I'm seeing some folks having trouble with wireless tether on the forums so check those out.

[Droid Eris Android Development] amoeller:
I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU DO WITH THIS!

This file is the official ROM from the latest 2.1 RUU. The only thing I did to it was process it in the Android Kitchen to remove the HBOOT update and Recovery update. This is for anyone looking for a clean official ROM that they want to add stuff to. Nothing is modified. I installed it on my phone and everything is working fine. Root is not even installed. If you want overclocking and root use the other attached files. Flash the files you want.

Install using rooted recovery.

OTA notifications are NOT disabled so ignore them in the future.

Remember to wipe user data before exiting recovery.

ROM will not wipe user data on its own.

DON'T flash downloaded ZIP! Extract the archive and then flash whats inside.

Enjoy!

For Clarification:

I sort of went one step further then PlaneJane and this IS a stock ROM. The only thing different between this and the VZW RUU is that its safe to flash without overwriting recovery or your bootloader. The user does the customization.

UPDATE:

If you want the new OTA release in July 2010 download http://www.multiupload.com/NUFVZNVDGD by n8thegr8 and install in recovery. If your using all the files I gave flash the update in this order.

Boot into rooted recovery.

Flash update.zip.

Flash root ZIP.

Flash overclocking kernel.

After that reboot and recovery will flash new radio.

WAIT until its completely done!

Phone will reboot again and your done!

After last reboot it takes some time at the Verizon screen to apply the update.
[Droid Eris Android Development] korben dallas:
very cool man thx
[Droid Eris Android Development] t2noob:
so this is a variation of plain jane correct?
[Droid Eris Android Development] rvpartsguy:

[Droid Eris Android Development] amoeller:
Sort of. I didn't even see what PlaneJane was all about other than its basically stock. I sort of went one step further and this IS a stock ROM. The only thing different between this and the VZW RUU is that its safe to flash without overwriting recovery or your bootloader. The user does the customization. Root is not even installed on the ROM. I included the ZIP for root and overclocking if you want it.

Hope that clears things up.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] p0wd3r:
Hello all. Kinda new here, but I've been flashing my hero with roms from here for a while now. My latest attempt at a good rom is the VillainROM 12.0.0, this is my first time with a VillainROM, and I don't know if this bug exists in previous versions. In my opinion it is a very minor issue, but maybe not for someone else. I'm not a developer, so I don't know what could be causing it, and I don't know if I should be reporting bugs on the VillainROM site, or here, so I'm going to start here...

I downloaded the ROM from the VillainROM12.0.0 thread...

Install was flawless, worked perfectly.

The ROM runs extremely well in all functions, so no complaints there.

The only issue is a slight (10+ seconds) hang when I press the power button to turn on the screen to unlock it and the WiFi connection has timed out. Other ROMs I've used, including the stock ROM would come out of this sleep mode, and then try to reconnect to the WiFi, and they've done so with flawless success. However, this ROM does not, at least not for a minute or so.

This is how I can reproduce the problem, and it takes a while. I usually plug my phone into a charger at night and let it charge over night, and unplug it in the morning to head off to work or whatever. Once the screen turns on on its own after the external power source is disconnected (which all ROMs have done) the screen is unresponsive, and all buttons are unresponsive. The screen remains lit up on the lock screen stuck for at least 10 seconds, then goes black, then pressing the power button to turn the screen back on will restore the phone to an unlocked state (assuming it remembered the swipe action from when the screen was locked and stuck) but takes about another 5 seconds to come back on. This only happens if I have the WiFi radio on while the phone is sitting idle for an extended period of time (long enough for the radio to automatically go into its sleep mode perhaps?).

Here's the info from my phone...

Firmware Version: VillainROM9.0.0

Baseband Version: 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26

Kernel Version: 2.6.29-ninpo-freqtwk{AT}titan-dirty-b7a296faninpo{AT}titan #39

Build Number: VillainROM12.0.0

Software Number: 3.32.405.1

Browser Version: 3.1

I'm not sure if this is just a fluke, if I should reflash and see if the problem persists. Anyone else able to reproduce this?

Again, if this is the wrong forum, please feel free to move it, and thanks XDA, this site is an awesome resource!

PS... I had to replace the at sign with {AT} in the Kernel Version due to Forum restrictions (It thinks it's an outside URL and I'm too green to be able to do that...)...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Are you running setCPU or OC Widget?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shokkapic:
It look likes the lower CPU frequency is too low. Open SetCPU or Overclock Widget and increase it a little.

If you use profiles, in SetCPU:

> Check if you have a "Sleep Profile"

> Check if its frequences are too low.

> If yes, increase it.

It normaly happens when you have a 19Mhz - 2XXMhz on-demand sleep profile.

Increasing that 2XXMhz to 3XX or 4XX may solve the issue.

If not, try to reflash, or use VillainROM IRC at their website.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
First your radio is a bit old. Try upgrading to the latest radio from here:

http://villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=323

Second, especially regarding the wakeup issues, try my kernel for VR12 from here:

http://villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=97&t=1928

It has no wake-up problems even @ 691/160 (what I used) as well as better battery life and performance....
